Traffic Impacts During Construction (North and South Hollywood):

The project will consist of four main phases of work: sewer installation, concrete installation, improvements, and asphalt paving.

During the sewer installation phase, the contractor may post “No Parking” signs on certain sections of street where he will be working during the day. Residents will be allowed to park their vehicles on the street overnight, however; we ask that while the contractor is working adjacent to your house, you have your vehicle moved prior to 7:00 AM to reduce the possibility of accidental damage from the construction machinery.

During the concrete installation phase, the contractor will work on one side of the street at a time. The contractor will post “No Parking” signs on that side of the street. Overnight on-street parking will be allowed on the opposite side of the concrete work. We ask that the vehicles parked on the opposite side of the concrete work be moved off street from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM to reduce the possibility of accidental damage from the construction machinery.

During the pavement improvements phase, the contractor will post “No Parking” signs on an entire street. Vehicles will have to be moved prior to 7:00 AM on the specified date and the street will remain closed until the entire pavement has been removed and the stone base has been installed.

During the asphalt paving phase, the contractor will post “No Parking” signs on an entire street, and parking will not be permitted from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM on the specified dates.

Parking restrictions for street sweeping will be relaxed within the near vicinity of the project to allow for overflow parking as the project is ongoing.

Traffic Impacts During Construction (Intersection Improvements):

The Intersection Improvements at Grand Boulevard and Prairie Avenue will have several stages of work that will affect parking availability and through traffic in various ways. Please refer to the "Other Work" section under the "Construction Updates" tab for the latest updates regarding traffic impact and accessibility.

Garbage Collection :We do not anticipate that garbage collection will be affected. However, notice will be given to all affected residents if any changes in service are necessary once work begins.
